Are all ACT 3 doors bugged after latest update (01.09.24)

[bowlofpetunias42]

Can't get past the sinister door, can't get into the boudoir in house of hope even with invitation, and i'm being told that the bhalspawn temple door isn't opening either. *Sighs*
If I leave house of hope to do Shadowheart's companion quest will I get stuck there too?

[takoyaki]

Yeah I'm having this same issue with the Boudoir. Not sure how to fix it. I've already closed the client and restated but nothing. Hopefully this gets fixed soon.

Uh oh, Hotfix 16 might really, really need Hotfix 16a soon.

Seems this may be causing most of the issues:

A Redditor who goes by JusticeofTorenOneEsk started the list in question, noting that they’d been seeing an “influx of posts about the game not realizing that characters have a specific item necessary for a quest.”

The user surmised that Hotfix 16 must be the responsible party. Because some players have found workarounds for the bugged items, the Redditor thought it’d be best for the community to pool resources.

For instance, those having trouble accessing the Sinister Door with the Szarr Family Ring and Kozakuran Dictionary should try casting cast Arcane Lock on the door. Unfortunately, there are no reported workarounds for items such as the Amulet of Bhaal, Caravan Chest, and Spear of Night.

It's kinda funny/ironic that all the quest items are broken after it was supposed to make them more accessible


Edit: I saw people reporting an issue with the Noblestalk as well here :(

[EricHVela]

There's a reddit thread that mentions many things that require an item to proceed are being affected by something with this latest patch.

Anything you encounter needs to be reported to Larian's feedback. They're likely already working on it, but just to be sure.

I get it. We're not supposed to be the ones identifying bugs for the developers, but with the amount of entertainment I've received, I'm willing to take a moment to help them keep giving me entertainment (which I only paid to have once).

I wonder if you can 'fudge' visibility by throwing all quest items into camp storage, since that was the intended added function of the hotfix.

I'm a little unsure what you mean by fudging visibility, relatively new to pc gaming (BG3 is my first pc game lol)

so cast arcane lock rather than knock? also, do you have to have the ring on or just in your possession? (i've tried so many variations of interacting with that dang door)

[seeker1]

The way I normally open that door is read the dictionary, learn the phrases, press the ring against the door, narrator tells me I uttered the correct phrase, door opens.

All that said, unsure, but it might be difficult to open until Hotfix 16a.

Well, in the sense that quest items are not visible in your inventory normally when they should be, but you might be able to make them so under today's Hotfix 16 which added the ability to grab quest items directly from camp storage when appropriate by doing exactly that.

Give it a try. Send, say, the invitation to camp and see what happens.

It's called house of hope because you keep hoping that the bugs are fixed.

In the specific case of the Boudoir you can enter that room via the backside (...no pun intended *ahem*).

Some of the other rooms on that side of the HoH has a balcony which leads over some rocks (basically outside the house) all the way to the Boudoir room balcony. Just be aware of the resident of that room, who will awake when you leave the balcony and go inside (stealth can avoid him triggering/awakening, as he sleeps, giving you time to explore your situation first).

[NoTouchy]

I'm having the same issue with the sinister door and got frustrated. Can't get knock to work, I've tried dropping the ring and picking it up, and it still won't work.

Hopefully it'll be fixed soon 🤞🤞🤞

[lukasmatheson]

Can't open the Temple of Bhaal Stone doors even with the amulet of Bhaal rn

[ShinigamiMercury]

Welp, glad to know I'm not the only one banging this stupid Amulet of Bhaal against the doors to get to Orin. Hope they fix this asap. I want my beefy druid back! -_-

[Hutetu]

I had the same issue with House of Hope, not sure if you already found a workaround but you can go to the balcony from the room besides Boudoir and just jump from there to reach it .
